OUR NEXT EVENT

On July 20, 2025 we will join  the Hackensack Riverkeeper for a mid-day Staib Park River Clean-Up.  Every year, from April through November, Hackensack Riverkeeper's cleanup program mobilizes over 1,000+ volunteers and removes an average of 25,000 pounds of trash from our local waterways. Last year 35 people atttended and removed an impressive number of bags of trash.

Watch this space for a weather update

Saturday afternoon update from the Riverkeeper: "Fortunately, it appears that the thunderstorms have shifted for tomorrow, so we can proceed with the cleanup! We'll begin at 9:00am"

SIGN UP NOW DIRECTLY WITH THE RIVERKEEPER

FUNDING FOR LIBRARY PROGRAMS

Your membership and participation in the Friends, and in our events, helps us raise money to support Library programs.  Over the past few years, the Friends have donated over $20,000 to the Library.  Library programs we are funding in 2025 include all of the Museum Passes offered by the Library this year,  the NJ Makers Day program, the Drag Queen Story Hour in the Childrens Department, and the Annual Haunted Library.
